In this marvelous miscellany of merrymaking, Gerry Bowler explains and celebrates every aspect of Christmas - its food, drink, carols, fables, gift-giving and traditions.
Taking in everything from Wren Boys and Star Boys to mumming and wassailing; the Feast of Fools to the origins of eggnog; Santa and Babushka to robins and reindeer; and chimneys and chocolate coins to mince pies and Miracle on 34th Street, The Christmas Book is a joyous celebration of the festive period.
